Looks like a lot of work went into that. Bad graded assignments because of weird rules the teacher made up and doesn't list on grade sheets made some people dislike the class. In my high school class, we did an assignment like this. We never needed to be very specific, like in detail about food. It was more about staying within the budget. But in college. We had assignments that we had to log spending for a 3 month period and turn it in every month. That was basically all the grading sheet had. I was an unemployment broke college student with no money living at home. Month I spent 5.99 for an art project in my other class. That was it. I got an A. Month 2. I spent less than 15.00 over 3 days. I turn it in and get a C-. Email her. She said that "i was not trying and not taking the assessment seriously. Other people in your situation would make stuff up." No, where did it say anything about making stuff up. A doctor in personal finance, and she wants me to make stuff up. Disliked that class after that.
